5. Because of his Rank
He was a Lieutenant and in present day it takes about four years to be a Lieutenant. So I was wondering if he had stayed in for four years or if the promotion period for Lieutenant was shorter. I had never heard how many years he had served in the Navy. It somewhat seemed like he went to Vietnam and then retired from the Navy. So I was just wondering how long he stayed in the Navy.

6. It takes four years...
to get promoted from 2nd Lt. to 1st Lt.? I wonder if a silver star and a few bronze stars help expedite a promotion.

7. I believe he bothered to learn Vietnamese language which added in value.
